Eventually

We ended up waiting just over an hour for an embarrassed and apologetic Hanako to emerge with a fucked-silly Gemma in her arms. She made an aborted attempt at a bow, only for the little lizard to nearly bonk her head on the ground.

"I am so sorry! I should have notified you in some way or—" Hanako babbled, face a deep purple.

I cut her off gently. "It's alright, we know what it's like, the sun's just barely set." I smirked at Gemma's goofy grin. "I see someone's satisfied with how this turned out."

Gemma blinked at my voice and raised her head. She nodded solemnly and flopped back into her lover's breasts, murmuring something into them.

Annie giggled. "She's even worse than I was!" She snuggled into my side with a happy sigh.

Sam smiled at the couple before she returned to watching the deep shadows around us with her newfound night vision.

"Thank you for your patience, and thank you for helping us reunite, Mason." Hanako said.

"Uh, no problem? I'm glad I could help out." I rubbed the back of my head. "There is a problem we need to talk about, however."

The mood turned serious as Sam and I explained the Zoey situation. Annie deflated, she'd been friends with her since middle school, devastated by the idea Zoey might be hostile. Quick to come up with alternatives.

I wasn't 100% sure she was an enemy yet, she'd done little more than spy on us and give me a headache, hardly unforgivable offenses. But, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Hanako led us back down the trail and to the parking lot, leery of an ambush in the dark. We huddled defensively at our cars, the dusk giving way to twilight.

Sam spoke up, tone serious, almost like a soldier. "It's very worrying that Mason and Zoey both have weird powers. In the same year at the same tiny school? Can't be a coincidence. It implies there's a lot of people with powers too."

Gemma sat up. "It could also be a local phenomenon." Her voice was almost jarring with how cute it was. "Maybe something about the area is good for superpowers."

"What, like leylines? Fairy rings?" I held back a scoff.

The tiny drake raised an eyebrow at me. "With the information that we have? Yeah, like leylines. Could also be crashed aliens or a portal to another dimension. Can't rule out much of anything."

I sighed. "Right." Ugh, this was stressing me out.

Sam asked, "Did a shooting star grant your wish or something? Maybe a spider bit you on the dick." She giggled like it was the funniest thing ever.

"You been working on that one for long, Sam?" I shook my head at her.

"Like, I kinda assumed it was a hereditary thing for Mason." Annie piped up from my side. "It is centered on his genitals. Maybe you have demon ancestors?" I didn't like how much sense that makes. Will I find Succubi and Incubi in my family tree?

Hanako shook her head. "That just adds another link to the chain of questions, where did his ancestors receive the power? To say nothing of this Zoey and her very different abilities."

Annie shrugged. "This was before we learned about her whole thing."

The discussion died there, we didn't know enough and it was too dark to talk in circles like this.

We decided it would be best to leave Gemma's car here for now, she was too short to reach the pedals safely and seemed content to stay latched onto the dryad.

We drove out of the park and split up. Annie called her Mom to tell her she was staying at a friend's for dinner. To my surprise, her mom was fine with it.

"Did she forget you were grounded already?" Sam sounded both envious and slightly worried about the parental neglect.

Annie sighed. "Yeah, she's been like that since my Dad left." Her pink eyes lit up and she turned towards me, eager smile opening to reveal her idea.

Uh-Oh. "No! I'm not gonna make your Mom drink my cum!"

"But Mason! She'd be so happy about it!"

"Wouldn't it be weird if your boyfriend was fucking you and your mom?" I protested.

Sam grinned, leaning forward from the backseat. "You can give her to your Daaaddd~" She sang.

Annie hopped in place at that idea. "Yeah! Your Dad sounds really nice. He'd be good for her!"

Sam and Annie cheerfully went over all the merits of building my Dad his own little Harem. I began to realize the futility of denying it. The small, lonely voice of my childhood reminded me that Mom and Dad had always wanted more kids, and I wanted younger siblings.

It was also really hot. Collecting lonely women for my father to fuck little brothers and sisters into.

"Ooh! If they get married, that'll make you two—" Oh God.

When we pulled into my driveway, my head thunked into the steering wheel. "Fine. We'll do it on Sunday." Annie cheered while Sam cackled.

Stella opened the door with a wide smile. "Welcome home, Mason! I got your text, Dinner's almost ready."

I hadn't texted her. I flicked my eyes to the android, she winked at me with an evil little grin. I sighed fondly.

Guess we're having a Family dinner. Maybe I can ask Dad about some family history? He did notice Sam was both a person and an Android without being told.
